Meditation in near rhyme to Hopkins

If in the first sat Cal

Then how did Raelene

Be Cal, just now?

The seed that

Sprouted Cal

From the iron maidens head

Is a man meditating

In a desert

Now

But Berwick’s no desert

Never ever

Did the seed contain Cal

Now

And if the plant is in the

Seed

How

Comes the environment

Out?

I don’t think anyone knows

How

All philosophy and art

Is not grain or pile

Whole or part

One moment

Disjointed

Into many

And cannot be

Pulled apart

Begun again at the start

How does Cal sprout

Now

Out of the depth of hell?

A moment ago was an ent

And now further

How does one plot

Overlap the other?

And be pervasive

As a Victorian summer

Day

Heat

Inside, outside, everywhere

One feels warm,

The tension builds

Was that spun, too,

Seed in an iron maiden

The moment I was born

Contained therein

Ready to be reborn again?

Was that a seed in

A seed

Or taking off and

Putting on?

Does superman

Contain golem?

In the line that draws

Is serfdom

Draws out words

Of freedom

Of a seed

Trapped within a human

The man that is me

Meditating in the desert

Says

“It’s alright Cal”

And I’m here right now
